MINNEAPOLIS, MN - We are excited to announce that LVC has expanded our product and service offerings to include J.N. Johnson Fire and Safety. As of May 1st, LVC has acquired J.N. Johnson. JN will continue to do business as “J.N. Johnson, a Division of LVC”. The acquisition includes the Minneapolis office, the Hibbing office, the International Falls office as well as Lee Leasing.
LVC President and CEO explains this newest venture in details saying, “This is a very exciting opportunity for us as it broadens our ability to truly be the contractor who can provide all the technology goods and services for a very wide range of clients.
J.N. Johnson and LVC have a long history together starting over 35 years ago when John Goodwyne, J.N. Johnson’s owner, started LVC. Both companies have grown into highly recognized and highly respected companies and together have sold, installed and serviced some of the most prestigious fire suppression projects in Minnesota and across the country.
As the market has changed over the decades, so too must companies that do this type of work. The use of complicated clean agent systems for mega computer rooms is no longer the way mission critical facilities are protected.
The advent of smaller more powerful computes has made the need for large computers and data storage devices obsolete as well as diminishing the need for large clean agent systems.
There is still, however, a large demand for suppression in the Industrial market, the Iron Range and other highly sensitive mission critical facilities.
This market is exactly why we decided to make this move. By utilizing the talents and resources of both JNJ and LVC we provide capabilities that few other companies possess and the ability to design, provide, install and service the entire system platform.”
